Federation Internationale de Football Association fines Croatia and Sweden over World Cup equipment breaches

After England's magical World Cup run came to an end yesterday, a flood of "it's coming home" jokes finally turned against them.

England return to action at the World Cup on Saturday when they take on Belgium in the third place play-off. "Thank you boss from the whole nation", the 20-year-old said on Twitter with a picture of himself embracing the England coach.

"But when you get close to success it drives you more, because you can see things are possible".

"I'm a lot more rational now".

"I'm very happy that my pupil has done better".

"We need to regroup and recover and see the opportunity".

Mr Jex has been following England's performance throughout the knockout and group stages in Russian Federation with three friends, Pete Hanratty, Dave Taylor and Adrian Evans.

He has been documenting the trip on his Twitter account, with a series of pictures showing the scenes around Russian Federation and his time with the players.

"The players did that this morning in training", Southgate said.

"I then came back and told the lads how awesome it was, the support that we had". If we were to hold a tournament in ping pong all of us would be rooting for that single player.

"This may have given us extra motivation, but this is football, you have to be dignified in victory and in defeat". "We're a bit outside the top four or five, but I think we're competitive against all of those teams".

It would be a momentous achievement for captain Kane, albeit scant consolation after falling short of the World Cup final.

"Even away from all the football madness, the people have been really friendly and welcoming", he said.

"We only have a two-day recovery and I'm sure some of the guys won't be able to get out there".

"The Red Square in Moscow was handsome - there's some lovely buildings and things to see here".

Manchester United manager José Mourinho also praised the England team.

The winger, 29, has scored twice in each of the last three major tournaments for his nation, and has become a crucial figure in Croatia's attacking setup alongside Juventus' Mandzukic, as was proven on Wednesday night when Perisic in particular was a constant thorn in England's side.

"We're here to try and improve every time we play and every time we go into a tournament. We'd like to redress having lost to Belgium once before already, too", he added.

"Croatia's passage to the World Cup final is a historic result which has made us the focal point of world attention", head of the board Kristjan Stanic said in a statement.

"There was a massive atmosphere in the stadium tonight".
